I wi " Hinata! Hyuuga, Hinata!" Ugh!! And I almost forced myself to tell him!! So close!!
I quickly leaped from the tree, but I stumbled amd tripped. I fell in a bush and when I finally stood, I ahd scratches on my cheeks. Great. Just great. That makes me look completely graceful. Not clumsy at all.
I felt my face go beet-red. Darn you emotions!! Who told you to trigger my blush! GRRR! When I heard someone clear his or her throat, I finally looked up. I saw my sensei, Kurenai, standing in front of me. "Hinata, you Uchiha, and I are needed in the Hokage's office for an important mission." Kurenai stated. " I need you to get Uchiha for me because I have other matters I must attend to." Kurenai continued. " H-Hai s-sensei!" I stammered.
I saw the red-eyed woman shoot off towards the outskirts of town. Then I dashed back into the more populated part of the village. I almost came to a complete halt when I was passing Ichiraku's Ramen stand. I caught a glimpse of a certain blonde-haired-blue-eyed-crush-of-mine. My heartbeat quickened.
Then, as soon as he began to turn in my direction, I continued my mad dash. I stopped on my street. I think that Uchiha-san moved here… I walked five or six houses (or should I say MANSIONS!!) down from mine and saw a fairly small one labeled 'Uchiha, Sasuke' on the mailbox.
I stopped. The home was painted a deep royal blue. There was a garden that had (obviously!) been ignored for quite a while. The windows were trimmed in white and the door was a strange, glossy, black.
I gazed at the small mansion. It was weird, but so… pretty. Somehow it enticed me. When Hiashi-san decides I'm old enough to be on my own, I will find a home just like this. Well, except for the crappy garden. That would be different. I slowly walked to the black door and knocked twice. I waited for exactly one minute and thirteen point five seconds.
I knocked again. Then I felt someone grab me by my shoulders and pull me into a headlock. I choked with surprise. "Who are you? Why are you here?" a deep husky voice said. " I-I am H-Hyuuga H-Hinata h-here be-because Tsunade s-s-summoned K-Kurenai-sensei, U-U-Uchiha-s-san, and I. Kurenai-s-sensei asked me to get him," I blurted. I grimaced. Why on earth did I say that? The hold on my neck loosened. "Hn. Hyuuga," the voice murmured.
I turned and blushed once I was freed. The stoic boy smirked, then frowned. I glanced at him, instantly feigning interest in the ground. He had changed since I last saw him, two years ago in the midst of a mission. He was taller now and, if possible, his eyes had gotten even darker and scarier. His hair was longer and had more spikes in the back. (A/N: Chicken Butt Hair!! That's what it is!!)
" You shouldn't go spouting off information that could be classified. I could've been Oorochimaru, you idiot."
I felt my face redden at his true comment. "H-h-hai U-Uchiha-san." "Hn." Is that the only word this guy knows?!! "The Hokage n-n-needs to see us r-r-right away,"I stammered. "Hn." OMFG I wanna scream! Say other words!
We arrived shortly. Kurenai was already there. Tsunade spoke. " You three have been summoned here today for a very important, top-secret mission. A very good friend of mine, he-heh, a very beautiful, extremely gifted friend of mine, made an extremely remarkable machine." She paused, laughing at an inside joke.
" This machine will make a perfect ninja! I want to test it out on you three, capiche?" Tsnade stared expectantly. "Well now, that's a challenge I'm willing to take!" Kurenai announced. "Tch. As if anyone could be a better ninja than I already am. I'll try it out, just because I know I won't change much." Sasuke said. He is so freakin' conceited! They looked at me. "Oh, ah, h-h-hai!" I nodded feverishly.
I am determined to be the best ninja possible. Then Neji will finally see me as his equal. Father won't be so disappointed in me. Maybe I'll even be accepted by the Elders and I can be the heiress again! And Hanabi, maybe we could be friends instead of rivals. Oh! What if I was so cool that Naruto noticed me and asked me out?! That'd take Haruno off her high horse!
Tsunade spoke. "Okay. Just be on the western outskirts of town at 0600 hours. That's where this will take place." "Hai!" we said in unison. "Dismissed!" Tsunade waved us away. I walked out of the office thinking of what was in store for tomorrow.
